[Duke 2.0]

 They probably have a rough time when either being raised or in general at home. That's usually why people strive to derive enjoyment from torment. It's a difficult situation to deal with yeah, but animosity towards your fellow man never leads anywhere good. Leave your sadness pointed rigid at the situation at hand and not the source.

 I think I cracked today.

 Perhaps it was some combination of sleep deprivation, hopelessness and frustration at the things surrounding me, but after class today I just got really angry. Just having a fit right there on the campus grounds, swearing up a storm at the sky and yelling at life itself. That weird situation of speaking without putting any thought into the action. It lasted for around ten seconds before I had to catch a breath and got a grip.
 Normally that would only mildly concern me, just venting I guess? But when I got home I had a stutter. I had one for about a year now but that was only in very specific situations that really hammered on me. This was towards the rest of my family in a calm environment. I fear there is a deeper cause to this that is getting worse, but I don't know any real way of addressing it or what it is. My best hope is that my speech communication professor picks up on this and suggests something.

I was having a genuinely happy day today. This is a quite rare occurrence.

Then someone in gym mocked me for getting a lower speed then them on the shuttle run fitness test, and then someone later in the day randomly shouted either 'fat ***' or 'f****t' at me (had trouble hearing, but it was likely the latter, I'm pretty skinny.) And I had to walk home in the rain without a hoodie or umbrella or anything.

Jerks like that should be locked up behind bars until they learn how to behave properly.
Just my own humble opinion, the opinion of one who also had his share of bullies once.

Everyone's had experience with bullies, on either side of the fence. A lot of them grow up successful, inherit their father's companies, were rich in the first place, or get to be billboard models for whitening cream ads or expensive watches or clothing lines. I dislike that.

I know mine had a father that divorced and left.

Sometimes they've got issues, you just might not see them. They're unlikely to ever admit it.

Just like a lot of bullied people do too, you mean?

[kaijyuu]

There's a lot more to bullying than hurting people for kicks.

Generally it's a method to make themselves look better by comparison. Rather than, you know, improve themselves, they'll put someone else down and say to themselves "at least I'm not that person. They're weird/dumb/whatever."

[SalmonGod]

Getting very frustrated with my own attention span.  It's something I used to pride myself on.  Through most of my teen years, I was the only person I knew who could enjoy reading a book for 4-5 hours straight.

Over the last 2-3 years, I've been getting increasingly restless and unfocused.  Lately I have immense trouble doing anything that requires maintaining more than a few minutes of concentration.  It's become a serious problem, and I have to admit it to myself.

Got a B+ on a midterm.

*sigh*

[ToonyMan]

Grades don't matter to me anymore.  I just get bothered over it.  And then I realize I don't even care so WAIT YOU GOT A B+ WHY IS THAT BAD

You have no excuses to be upset

[Vector]

I want an A, and am clearly not being diligent enough :I

[ToonyMan]

Dude, Vector.  Even if I tried my damn gog dog hardest practicing for an exam or test I can guarantee you I wouldn't do 90%+ material.  It's not feasible.  I'm not sure why that is but it's better to accept you aren't gonna get a perfect because there is always gonna be a 10% unknown you'll never predict unless your blood flows brown.

Especially if it involves essays.  Damn rules and regulations everywhere.

I have to write an essay from the perspective of an 11 year old girl on the political situation of British Loyalists after the American revolution.

I'm fairly sure my history teacher is troll us by this point.

I once had to write an essay about the Holocaust from the perspective of a six year old Austrian boy.  What the fuck am I supposed to do with that.

[Lord Shonus]

Reminds me of an assignment where one of the class groups tried to relate Hiroshima to the class, by digging up Cold War analysis of the effect of a Soviet strike on our city. A clever and well-intentioned effort, but when the entire point of what you're doing is to emphasize how destructive an attack was, using data for a weapon two thousand times larger (on a city that is far less vulnerable to that sort of attack as well) makes the comparison useless.

Bizarre assignments require bizarre solutions:

I'm kind of tempted to just write "I'm eleven years old and what's this?"
